Mick McCarthy

I was thinking the other day; How is McCarthy still in a job? He whines about everything, shows no innovation as a manager or motivator, and has absolutely no charisma whatsoever. And I say this as a Lions fan who remembers what he was like for us.

And now he's no longer at Molineux. Question is, at this part of the season, who will take the reins?

Even as an Albion fan I've always liked the guy, its refreshing to hear a manager say it as it is ... sadly managers are under pressure after the shortest run of bad results these days and so, given Wolves bad run there was no way he could survive a thumping at home against the clubs fiercest rivals!

Thanks for the memories Mick, the last manager I've genuinely had any affection for since Turner, and like Haze says the best Wolves team I've seen play at the Golden Palace, and I'll never forget where we were at when he took over after Hoddle left us deep in the brown stuff, but after Sundays humiliation there was no going back, his time was at an end, and even with the bad results the crowd never really turned on him like we have with past managers (Swansea excepted)

Even though he got the sack he still only had good things to say about the Wolves! I'm sure he'll come back to haunt us one day
UTW

To lose so badly to the Baggies at home could only result in one thing. Its a shame as Mick has been good for the club. No idea where they go now and how the gesture of using the manager as the fall guy for a team sport leaves them. It may involve a creek and no paddle?

Decent result that. Sacking Mick was a joke in hindsight - no slight on TC but if you can't attract a recognised manager WTF is the point? As bad a result as the baggies beating was, the players would still put in a shift for old Mick.

Once upon a time he held a clipboard,
where he used to write a thing or two, or three or four,
staring at his clipboard for ******* hours,
thinking what the **** we gonna do?
These are the days my friend
we hope soon they end,
we sit and moan forever and a day,
we watch the wanderers lose,
we fight and often boo
, we are the wolves oh yes we are the wolves..

I have a newspaper cutting that I have carried around in my wallet for years, it makes me laugh every time I read it:

First question asked of Mick McCarthy at a Sunderland fans' forum last week: 'What was your highlight as Republic of Ireland manager?' McCarthy needed a nanosecond to reply: 'Sending that t*@t home from the World Cup.'

Got to love someone like that, but then what do I know, I support Tranmere! I hope he is back managing soon.
